Color looks bad

[ginny_westcott@adobeforums.com]

In InDesign the color looks bright and bold. I have my color settings set to match my calibrated monitor. But when I export to a pdf, the color looks bad once I open it in Acrobat. All washed out. Is there something else I am not doing to as why it converts this way? I will ask this in the InDesign forum as well.

thanks ginny

Yes, everything is the same throughout all my programs, thats what baffles me. I have the engine chosen called Adobe (ACE) instead of Colorsync throughout all of them as well. I think it was the default. Do you know if I should change that to something else? I am just stumped on this one.

thanks ginny

Have you tinkered with anything in the PROOF COLORS section under ADVANCED?
